Rewiring in Soho

Rewire packages for Soho (W1) state the qualification, notification and certification route for the accepted job in writing under Westminster.

Whether the property stays occupied changes sequencing and programme more than any other single factor — say so in the brief.

Soho includes conservation streets under Westminster. External works, elevations and visible materials may need careful consent checks even when internal packages do not. Formal decisions remain with Westminster or your appointed professional.

Soho's residential fabric sits above its famous ground floors, with flats accessed via Berwick Street, Wardour Street, and Dean Street. For rewiring, that context matters.
